The unfortunate reality of political campaigns is that sometimes candidates and outside groups are not entirely honest.

The Rochester-area League of Women Voters and the Interfaith Alliance of Rochester believe that they've made a small dent in the number of lies and misrepresentations on the campaign trail through the Fair Elections Practices Committee, which reviews and makes decisions on claims in campaign literature each year. Officials from both organizations discussed the effort Monday with the Democrat and Chronicle editorial board.
